Excellent capture!

so lovely! have sometimes the same problem, he eats the costly plant and destroit with the horns little branches but i love these animals! well done! good shot!

These animals know what tastes good. They love to eat roses too. The photo has a fantastic quality.

Beautiful photo ;o)))))))))))

belle photo!!!!

Caught red handed...well nice to know the reason. Sorry about your plants.

I wonder if spraying the plants with Hot Pepper spray would help deter the deer?

I think it's a wonderful capture Helle and how lucky you are to have such an adorable little visitor and be able to capture her so well. Sorry about your lovely flowers and plants

LOL looks like you fenced Him in!

I know how it feels. you don't know whether to love nature or whack it with a big stick! :-) Great shot. I don't have much I can offer to help. I used to lose my entire garden and the roses were gone to the trunks. I only stopped that by moving back to the city. LOL

Tobasco sauce might do the trick. He is quite cute, but not in MY garden! How maddening, Helle!

My sister-in-law on Whidbey had the same problem as you, but she solved it quite nicely! She has an outer fence that's about five feet tall, made of wire mesh. An inner fence (three feet distance between the two) just has one row of wire mesh along the top of the posts. The deer can't jump both, but you don't need inner fencing that goes all the way to the ground, either. It's attractive, and works like a charm! Let me know if you want to see pictures ... heaven knows, I've got plenty! LOL!

I have this problem with squirrels here they dig up my flowers pots and seeds. Reminds me of the movie Phenomenon, where John Travoltas character keeps staying up late at night to catch a bunny that keeps somehow making its way into his garden.... Good luck with the deer problem and yeah he is cute though.

Lovely capture - good luck coming up with a deterrent

He is rather adorable Helle but I do so understand your frustration! Maybe Tara's idea will help! She once told me about it too!

Good luck Helle...a gardeners worst dream:) I've seen the fences mentioned by tara above...do ask for a picture:)

Seems someone needs the Hosta more than you do :o) Lovely capture!!!!

a nice scene - but bad for you and your plants! Plant Urtica dioica between them - perhaps your “guest” does not like those. With us it is also cold sooooo.

Bigger fence! ;) Have you tried hanging Bird-netting over the top from polls? Excellent capture!

Excellent shot, fantastic colors and details

Oh my, Helle, lol... it's a sweet visitor but a bit a nasty one too, we had only foxes up here, tearing the trash bags apart and leaving a mess...

Have you tried a sign say; "Don't Eat the Flowers!"? ;) I'll trade you my Rabbits for your Deer!

Excellent work! Well Done!

Excellent capture. Shame about your plants though. I'd try a covered fence.

What a lovely and sweet looking Bamby!

Great capture. Lovely visitor.

Wonderful photo

Ah...what we call Hostas, they call Salad! Woodlice like hostas too, but thankfully they don't eat as much...they just nibble the dry bits. I love this capture, and even though it's a cute little deer, it's also a crime scene photo with the criminal caught in the act. I think maybe a kind of hot pepper spray might do the trick, but Tara has a good suggestion too. At any rate, this is a great photo, and for as annoying as this little beauty is, I'm sure you'll think of something to deter such persistent little vegetarians! Great shot though!

You must have been angry to see the damage but pleased with this lovely shot.

yeah !! EXCELLENT capture !!!
